I just submitted this poem to a poetry contest. What do you guys think? Do I have any chance of winning?


Nighttime relics stir the maelstrom
As wonder and sorrow perverse every thought.
Can evening bring once more sublime rapture?
Only the morning knows.

Sullen dusk keeping watch over tranquility,
Extolls the flower yearning for daybreak.
Great chaos ignites and merges the darkness,
Our Sun's eternal splendor illuminating the nation.

Torn out of this sundered world,
As fires blaze through the annals of eternity,
Corruption creeps through the fog of war;
Welcome to the United World of Corporations.

Teardrops flow like migrating geese
from the rectum of my blackened soul.
An insufferable toil from my colon?
Silence can never assume.

My polyps quaver, ancient and vigilant,
Crafting music of life yet a sound of war.
I release a rambunctious cheese sneeze
From that throbbing cavern near my testes.

A gift of life for the polyps within me.
A warm breeze, passing, lost to time?
They pause, strengthened by the calming vapors.
Only to renew their efforts to destroy my intestinal lining.


THAT IS WHAT IS FUCKING WRONG WITH IT

What's wrong with it? It's just word-salad. It's like the language centre of your brain farted onto a page. There's no style, no heart, no brain -

it's just words
With the lines broken
Up
To make it look more poetic.

Poetry contest?

Poetry is something you live and breathe, not something you enter into a contest, for it to be 'rated', as if you can measure poetry on a scale. Get out, OP. Just go.

>> No.732953

>>732896
Frankly, this is toilet-tier.

1st verse: Nighttime--shit better be stirring in a maelstrom. 2nd line makes no goddamn sense. How the fuck would the morning KNOW what the evening will bring?

2nd verse: Dusk. So now it is dusk. The flower yearns for daybreak but it isn't even night. Then we get chaos igniting in the darkness and in the next fucking sentence, you're talking about a land bathed in sun.

3rd verse: Second allusion to fire, possibly the 18th allusion to the time of day. Do you even know what the "fog of war" is? What the fuck is this Fight Club shit at the end.

I want to beat you so bad my dick is grinding it's teeth.

>> No.732957

For someone who "lives and breathes poetry," you're kinda lacking in style.

Also, will appreciate things however I damn well please.

See this post? There's a direction and message in each verse and in the total poem. Maybe you should submit this.

HOW CAN YOU STIR A MAELSTROM YOU FUCKING CRETIN - IT'S ALREADY IN TURBULENT MOTION.

YOU FUCKING REEK - MY ARSE HAS A HEADACHE FROM YOUR DREADFUL POETRY.

WHAT IS IT, DUSK OR DAYTIME OR NIGHT OR WTF? I SUPPOSE "ONLY THE MORNING KNOWS"

SO MUCH PATHETIC FALLACY, SO LITTLE STYLE, ZERO TALENT.

Hey, motherfucker! What the fuck was that?
It looks like you just squatted down and shat
right in my face. Now that won't fucking fly,
I've got your fucking faeces in my eye.
Here's what went down: you wrote this awful turd
(and clenched and strained each colon-spattered word)
in hope that someone here would praise your shit
"What kingly brownness! See the curve of it!"
Well, that won't happen. We've all read this farce
and know just what the 'poet' is: an ass.

Oh, so that was a waste of everyone's time then.

>Sullen dusk

You don't know what sullen means, do you?

>Extolls the flower yearning for daybreak.

My mind is now full of fuck

>Our Sun's eternal splendor illuminating the nation

At least the flower didn't have to yearn for long then

>Torn out of this sundered world,

What is, you fucking idiot?

>As fires blaze through the annals of eternity,

Anals of eternity, amirite? I've no idea what this means.

>Corruption creeps through the fog of war;

What the fuck does this have to do with the rest of the poem? It's just tacked on pseudo-intellectual bullshit.

This is toilet. I think the judges of the competition will just send it back with an email saying mwahahahahahaha

Or they'll wipe their arse with it, then post it back to you.

Spanked By Anon, the ill-gifted poet
Slinks back to his basket
Under unforgiving night, lit by harsh flames
Of anonymity and criticality

From Dusk to Dawn to unforgiving night
The Poem wavers, drunken and riddled
With crabs and scratching itself through
Hours like a mangy dog awaiting the vet

Thrown into a crippled and broken world
The poet's baby dies before the pit bulls
Of critique, uncorrupted by academy
Welcome to the disunited fragment of Anon.
